The Aquarium Garden Revisited
I revisited this project a couple of
days enjoying in some glorious late summer sun to see how it was all settling in 5
months after planting completed. It would have been easy to manicure it for the
pictures by picking up every fallen leaf and sweeping every path, instead I photographed
it in the moody mid-afternoon light as the first leaves of autumn had started
to fall and litter paths and decks with their crispy brown turn. Meanwhile the
Acers are only just string to come in to their own with the leaf colour deepening
and changing with the shortening day. Meanwhile my steps up from my drive sent
a flurry of butterflies and bees scattered from the Sedums and Echinacea,
glorious.
Welcome back!

The view beyond it doesn't get much more rural than this!!
